One of my dreams last night was me revisiting my child hood home and finding out how drastically it had changed. The entire park behind my house had been leveled amd turned into ugly buildings, all chrome and metal and the original gas station was ripped out and turned into a factory. I was so upset upon waking up because the real possibility of this happening.
Mind you when i was little, id gaze out of my bedroom window at the big soccer field behind my house, the little park behind that w a few hills and trees and playground equipemtn. The swingsets that i could run down to and swing on all barely within earshot of my step mothers whistle when it was time to come home. The pad of concrete that would host the splash pad in the summer. Beyond all of that was the outline of the mill by the train tracks. I could open my window and listen as the train blew its horn going through town. And even further, the looming outline of the mountains, encompasing most of the skyline.
